This contract is between Prima Poker Limited (“Prima”) and any player who registers or takes part in any MPN Poker Tour Festival or any Satellites (“Player”). The Players agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

The MPN Poker Tour (“MPNPT”) is a live event poker series organised by the MPN, with the “MPN” being the online poker network made available by Prima and known as the “Microgaming Poker Network”.

The Terms and Conditions for play at all MPNPTs are relevant for both the MPNPT online qualifiers or Satellites (see paragraphs 13 -18 below) and any live MPNPT event, which will usually consist of a primary tournament (“Main Event”) and side events (“Side Events”). Players are encouraged to familiarise themselves with these Terms and Conditions prior to joining any MPNPT online Satellites or the Main Event, Side Events and other event tournaments.

The “House Rules”, which are the rules for play observed in the chosen venue for the MPNPT (“Venue”) will govern the Player’s behaviour and conduct for the duration of the MPNT at that Venue. Players are encouraged to make themselves familiar with the relevant House Rules before participating in the MPNPT.

The Venue will conduct due diligence on all Players taking part in the MPNPT on their premises, and will handle all monetary transactions, including, but not limited to, collection of direct buy-ins for the Main Event and any Side Events, and payment of winnings from the relevant tournaments at the MPNPT. The terms and conditions for the poker room through which Players qualify online for the MPNPT (“Poker Room Terms”) will apply in full. We recommend Players familiarise themselves with the relevant Poker Room Terms before participating.

The promotional period for the MPNPT will commence from 0000 GMT on 7th of January 2013 and continue until discontinued by Prima or the MPNPT’s promotion administrators (“Administrators”).

Server time (GMT) applies to all times stated in these Terms and Conditions, unless otherwise stated.

Any Player who participates in any tournament associated with the MPNPT hereby accepts and agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

Players may compete in online Satellites (as defined in paragraph 13 below) for a chance to win MPNPT Packages. An “MPNPT Package” grants a Player entry to a live MPNPT and this can be won by competing in online Satellites or purchased directly by Players for all relevant MPNPTs. Each MPNPT Package may include, at Prima’s sole discretion:

One buy-in to the “MPNPT Main Event”, which is the primary tournament for each MPNPT at a specified Venue;

Accommodation for the duration of the MPNPT;

Cash towards travel or general expenses;

Food and/or drinks vouchers; and

A welcome session with drinks or snacks.

Players may win or buy multiple MPNPT Packages, but may only use one MPNPT Package per MPNPT Main Event. Each MPNPT Package can only be used once.

MPNPT Packages are subject to availability and are non-transferrable and non-refundable.

The value of any items contained within the MPNPT Package, and the MPNPT Package value as a whole, may change from time to time, at the sole discretion of Prima.

In order to win a MPNPT Package, Players will need to compete in Satellites on the MPN, with “Satellites” being online poker tournaments which are qualifying events where winners of the tournaments win the buy-in to other larger poker tournaments. Information as to how and where Players can compete in these Satellites can be found here: https://mpn.poker/qualify/. Players may buy MPNPT Packages or entry directly into the MPNPT Main Event from a holding lobby in the poker software of the MPN.

At any Satellite level, Players can buy-in using cash, loyalty points or eligible tournament tickets. Should any of the Player’s buy-ins be made using any bonus funds, or part thereof, from such Player’s account held with the MPN Operator, there shall be no restrictions or limitations placed on a Player’s chance to win a MPNPT Package or on the awarding of any MPNPT Packages to the Player should that Player’s buy-in result in the Player winning.

The winners of the final tier in a Satellite series will each win a MPNPT Package (“Package Winners”). Players who purchase a MPNPT Package or an entry into the MPNPT Main Event directly from a holding lobby in the poker software are hereinafter called “Event Players”. Package Winners and Event Players are, collectively, “MPNPT Qualifiers”. MPNPT Qualifiers will be listed in holding lobbies (namely, dummy tournament lobbies that will show the number of Players who have qualified for the MPNPT), which will be maintained in the poker software during the promotional period of the MPNPT.

MPNPT Satellite tournament tickets can be used for entry into other MPNPT Satellites up to 30 days after being issued. Unused MPNPT tickets cannot be converted into cash, loyalty points or other tournament tickets. For the avoidance of doubt, winners of the final tier in a Satellite series will win a MPNPT Package, not tournament tickets.

Winners of a MPNPT Package can use that MPNPT Package at the next upcoming MPNPT event or they may choose to defer the package to another MPNPT event. Deferred packages are valid for 1 year from the date won.

MPNPT Qualifiers may be asked to participate in publicity related to the winning of an MPNPT Package and, in this event, the provisions of paragraphs 31 – 37 below shall apply.

On winning a MPNPT Package, the Administrators will get in touch with the Package Winners via email to notify the winners of their win. To accept the prize, a Package Winner must respond to the notification within the time specified in the email, and the Package Winner will be required to supply their tournament registration details to the Administrators before the specified date communicated to them by email. The Event Players who have purchased a MPNPT Package or entry into the MPNPT Main Event will also be contacted by the Administrators via email and will also be required to supply their tournament registration details to the Administrators before the specified date communicated to them by email.

The MPNPT Qualifiers hereby expressly consent that their details provided to the Administrators may be published on the MPNPT website for each relevant MPNPT event. If any MPNPT Qualifier fails to supply the requested information within the specified time period, they will not be registered in the MPNPT and refunds will not be issued. Prima and the Administrators shall comply with all relevant Data Protection Legislation with regard to the processing of Personal Data, as set out in paragraph 42 below.

“Last Longest” promotions may be offered to players who play in the Main Event in packages won via online satellites. This is a promotion where eligible players who last the longest in the tournament specified win a prize.

No re-entries are allowed to qualify for the last longest offer, if players re-enter, they will not be counted as lasting longest and will be eliminated from the Last Longest competition.

Players will need to have started the eligible tournament using the package or seat won through one of the MPNPT operators.

MPNPT last longest lanyards must be worn by participating players, failure to do so will result in the player being excluded from this promotion.

The three players who last longest in the €1,000,000 guaranteed Battle of Malta Main Event 2019 out of all of the players who qualified via the Platinum partner rooms will each win one €1,500 MPNPT package valid for 1 year.

Where it is necessary, the MPNPT Qualifiers consent to a portion of any of their winnings at the MPNPT to be credited to the relevant Player’s online MPN account.

The Administrators reserve the right to offer alternative hospitality options for the MPNPT Package of the same or similar value, at their sole discretion. Any changes will be notified to the Package Winners in advance.

Package Winners may receive accommodation near to the MPNPT event Venue. Package Winners will be responsible for all charges and expenses not included in an MPNPT Package. Package Winners may be expected to present a credit card on arrival at the hotel to cover any relevant charges. Only winners or purchasers of a MPNPT Package will receive accommodation.

No cash alternative will be available to Package Winners for unused hotel accommodation.

It is the MPNPT Qualifier’s responsibility to organise travel to and from each MPNPT event and to ensure that all travel documents (passport and visa, as required) are in order and to obtain any required travel and medical insurance. MPNPT Qualifiers are responsible for all charges and costs for their travel.

If entitled to it as part of a MPNPT Package, money for travel will be deposited into each Package Winner’s online poker accounts within 5 business days after that Player’s registration into the MPNPT Main Event is confirmed. The funds will be in the currency of the Package Winner’s poker account, and where this is not EUR, the exchange rate used will be such EUR exchange rate listed on comthe date of transfer of the funds. Event Players will not receive money for travel.

All Players participating in the MPNPT must give details of their table and seat numbers for all MPNPT events they are playing or have played to any Administrators who request them.

All Players participating in the MPNPT agree to wear the branded merchandise of MPNPT-participating MPN Operators for the duration of the MPNPT event. The apparel is to be worn in a manner reasonably requested by the Administrators. No Player may wear, at any time, any apparel which has Competitor Branding or Third Party Branding for the duration of the relevant MPNPT event, with “Competitor Branding” and “Third Party Branding” being any branding that advertises or displays the logo, trademark or name of any person or entity which provides services or products that are the same or similar to those provided by the MPN, the Administrators and any MPN Operators. Players wearing Competitor Branding or Third Party Branding may be asked to remove it prior to the start of a tournament. Failure to comply will be considered a breach of these Terms and Conditions and may result in disqualification of the Player from the current or future MPNPT events with no liability whatsoever.

MPNPT Qualifiers must at all times conduct themselves in a manner respectful to the MPNPT, the MPN, the Venue, the MPN Operators and to the game of poker. Players in the MPNPT are brand ambassadors in a prestigious, internationally-recognised sporting contest. Should any Player act in a manner which, in Prima’s reasonable opinion, would be harmful to, or bring the MPN, the Venue, the MPNPT or associated MPN Operators into disrepute, the Player will be deemed to be in breach of these Terms and Conditions and Prima reserves the rights, at Prima’s sole discretion, to exclude that Player from participating any further in the current MPNPT or in any future MPNPT events and to refuse to award any winnings made at the MPNPT to that Player. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Player commits any act of fraud, collusion, unethical or disruptive behaviour whilst playing online poker on the MPN or elsewhere, or breaches any provision of these Terms and Conditions, the Administrators and Prima reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to refuse/exclude participation by such Player in any current or future MPNPT events, or other events.

Prima reserves the right to film, record, photograph, televise, webcast and broadcast any part of any MPNPT at any time. Players hereby expressly and irrevocably grant Prima and its authorised representatives, all permissions and all rights necessary to enable Prima make the fullest use of a Player’s name, poker alias, image, likeness, film footage, sound recordings and photographs that feature the Player as photographed, recorded, or broadcast by Prima or on Prima’s behalf (“Imagery”) throughout the world, in perpetuity and royalty-free, by any and all means in any and all media, whether now known or hereinafter developed or devised for the purposes of advertising, promoting, broadcasting and exhibiting the MPNPT and Prima’s services (the “Specified Purposes“).

Players hereby expressly and irrevocably release Prima from and against any claim, damage, liability, cost and expense arising from any violation of any right to privacy, publicity or personality that Players may have, or infringement of any intellectual property right that Players hold, based upon or related to any use of a Player’s Imagery under these Terms and Conditions. The foregoing release shall be binding upon all Players and their heirs, assigns and legal representatives.

Players acknowledge and agree that Prima owns all right, title and interest, including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights in and to a Player’s Imagery and any derivative works thereof.
